Homicides are few and far between in the small seaside town of Coos Bay, Oregon. At least they were, until now.

One year after a couple goes missing in the Elliott State Forest, their decomposed bodies are found close to where they were last seen. Homicide detectives Daniella Keezar and her partner Crystal Allen won't rest until they find who is responsible.

The local newspaper is reporting an increase in crime, homicides, and robberies. But it's the homicides that catch the eye of a best-selling author Charlotte Romano. After reading about the two missing people found murdered, her interest is piqued.

With little to no leads, Detective Keezar decides to take Charlotte up on her offer to research the killings through a fictional story in hopes to bringing the killer to light.

As Charlotte and Daniella collaborate on the case, there are too many coincidences pointing to one person. But they need solid evidence in order to move forward. Conniving, meticulous, charming, and rich, the serial killer's MO is always different.

Their eye is on the prize, but he refuses to leave them more. If only they could catch him in the act.

Desperate for answers, both women realize the closer they get to him, the more they may be in danger of becoming his next victims.
